A look at the Houston Texans weekly injury report.
The Houston Texans have started the 2024 season off strong, defeating both the Colts and the Bears. As week three approaches, the Texans will have their biggest test yet, the also undefeated Vikings in Minnesota.
Minnesota’s offense features the best wide receiver in football in Justin Jefferson, as well as an extremely talented running back in Aaron Jones. The biggest x-factor on their offense has to be their quarterback, Sam Darnold, who has started the season off extremely well.
The Texans should have success against the Vikings defense, but their defensive coordinator Brian Flores will not make it easy by any means.
Here is a look at the weekly Houston Texans injury report:
DID NOT PARTICIPATE:
- Running Back Joe Mixon (Ankle) – DOUBTFUL
- Running Back Dameon Pierce (Hamstring) – OUT
- Center Jarrett Patterson (Calf) – QUESTIONABLE
LIMITED PARTICIPATION:
- Center Juice Scruggs (Groin) – QUESTIONABLE
- Safety M.J. Stewart (Knee) – QUESTIONABLE
FULL PARTICIPATION:
- Tight End Dalton Schultz (Ankle)
- Wide Receiver Nico Collins (Hip / Foot)
- Linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair (Shin)
- Cornerback Kamari Lassiter (Elbow)
- Cornerback Kris Boyd (Hip)
- Defensive Tackle Folorunso Fatukasi (Shoulder)
The Texans are likely to be without running back Joe Mixon on Sunday, along with his backup, Dameon Pierce. Offensive Coordinator Bobby Slowik has spoken highly of former second-rounder Cam Akers, who is set to be the starter if Mixon is officially ruled out.
Houston is currently listed as 1.5 point favorites on Fanduel, heading into their matchup tomorrow.
Everyone else on the injury report is trending towards playing, and the Texans need all the help they can get against a good Vikings team.
